Yours is probably the lamest attempt to pawn off responsibility for abortion that I’ve ever read. Anyone with a lick of sense knows that women are the ones making the decision, and men tend to have little, if any, say in the matter.

I can't begin to tell you how incredibly wrong you are. I have worked directly with pregnant women who came to our pro-life group looking for support. Most of them were being pressured by their mothers/boyfriends/husbands to abort, or they had what they believed to be insurmountable financial issues. The vast majority, however, were pressured by men or their mothers.

So, blame women all you want, but I have talked to them directly, and most of them tell a different story. Additionally, if given a chance, many are looking for another way and will change their minds if given a chance.

Make all the excuses you want; the number one reason for abortion is a woman obtaining one.

So what? If a someone gets “pressured” to do drugs, rob a bank, or kill someone, do we let them off the hook because someone “pressured” them? Nope. They made the choice, they are responsible for their actions and decisions, regardless of whether someone “pressured” them.
